All Time Greatest Hits

All Time Greatest Hits (1999) more music like this

by Steppenwolf

Steppenwolf were a band that straddled the fence between jamming hard and maintaining catchy AM radio hits, and for a while they pulled it off effortlessly. Here's their story in a nutshell: all the big hits that have kept the group a staple on oldies and classic-rock radio stations for years. "Born to Be Wild, "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me," and ...

What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves

What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

A righteous undertaking of great magnitude, What It Is! Funky Soul and Rare Grooves trawls through a decade-long stretch of the Warner-distributed archive -- taking in the catalogs of Warner Bros., Atlantic, Reprise, Atco, and smaller nodes like Cotillion, Curtom, Alston, and Jonie -- and pulls up 80 soul/funk truffles, almost all of which were ...

Gold (2005) more music like this

by Steppenwolf

Universal Music Enterprises continues its double-disc Gold series with 31 tracks of Steppenwolf. Remastered and featuring extensive liner notes by notable music writer Scott Schinder, Gold is far too much music for listeners who are content with "Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," "Sookie Sookie," and "The Pusher." The bluesy pub rock of the ...

Come a Little Closer

Come a Little Closer (1974) more music like this

by Etta James

Etta James was fighting serious substance-abuse problems when this album was recorded, commuting to the sessions from a rehab center. It was a triumph simply to complete the record at all. But although James' life may have been in rough shape outside of the studio, she delivered a fairly strong set that fused forceful '70s soul arrangements with ...

From the Earth to the Moon [Television Soundtrack]

From the Earth to the Moon [Television Soundtrack] (1998) more music like this

by Original TV Soundtrack

The soundtrack to HBO's miniseries From the Earth to the Moon is basically a '60s and '70s oldies collection with the Michael Kamen theme tacked on to remind you this is a soundtrack, not a various-artists collection. Although there's no rhyme or reason for these selections other than their presence in the film, the album is actually fairly ...

Alive! [Bonus Tracks]

Alive! [Bonus Tracks] (2000) more music like this

by Grant Green

Alive! is the hardest funk LP Grant Green recorded during the later phase of his career, capturing a storming gig at Newark's Cliché Lounge. The sweaty club atmosphere adds something to the music that's difficult to pin down, yet unmistakably present -- a certain organic quality that isn't as noticeable on Green's studio albums of the time. ...

The Platinum Collection

The Platinum Collection (2007) more music like this

by Don Covay

Don Covay is one of the most diverse vocalists to ever come out of the Atlantic stables. The man could sing blues, hardcore Southern soul, early funk, jazz old-school -- as in Joe Turner styled rhythm & blues, and rock. The man can sing anything he decides to and puts his mark on everything he does. And what's more, many of those songs are his own ...

Blue Breakbeats

Blue Breakbeats (1998) more music like this

by Grant Green

Blue Breakbeats is an essential collection of six of the funkiest breakbeat heavy songs in Grant Green's deep Blue Note catalog. Prolifically sampled by beat thirsty hip-hop producers and stylistically influential in separating Green from Wes Montgomery's ever-looming shadow, these songs were compiled from Green Is Beautiful, Visions, Alive!, ...

Live at 25: Silver Anniversary

Live at 25: Silver Anniversary (1995) more music like this

by John Kay & Steppenwolf

While Steppenwolf can take some credit for spawning the heavy metal genre (the term came from the "heavy metal thunder" phrase in "Born to Be Wild"), they remained, at heart, a hard rocking bar band, and this reissue of their 1995 double-disc live set bears witness to that. Now billed as John Kay & Steppenwolf, the band's lineup for the late '90s ...

Blue Break Beats, Vol. 1-4 (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Blue Break Beats, Vol. 1-4 contains Blue Note's four exceptional volumes of funky soul-jazz rarities and obscurities in one slip-cased box set. This box set may not appeal to listeners who already own all four discs, since there are no new liners or bonuses, but anyone who's about to invest in the set should consider this, since it offers all four ...

The Best of Grant Green, Vol. 2 (1971) more music like this

by Grant Green

Grant Green signed to Blue Note for a second time in 1969. Where his first stint with the label was nearly all hard bop, the recordings from his second stay were almost all funky soul-jazz. Predictably, these are sessions that jazz purists have dismissed throughout the years, even though -- when judged strictly on the level of funky, groove ...

Mercy!/Seesaw (2000) more music like this

by Don Covay & the Goodtimers

In 2000, Koch reissued Don Covay's two classic mid-'60s albums, Mercy and See-Saw, on one tremendous CD. The term "classic" is thrown around haphazardly in pop music, but these are two sublime records that earn the term, even if they're not as roundly celebrated as platters from Otis Redding or even cult favorite James Carr. Though he racked up a ...

Blue Break Beats, Vol. 1 (1992) more music like this

by Various Artists

Blue Note released the two-volume Blue Break Beats compilation in the early '90s. The music on Blue Break Beats dates from the late '60s and early '70s, when a large portion of Blue Note's soul-jazz artists began experimenting with funk and rock, creating dense electric fusions that concentrated on rhythm, not improvisation. None of this music has ...

Steppenwolf/Steppenwolf the Second (1999) more music like this

by Steppenwolf

The domestic MCA CDs of Steppenwolf's first two albums offered surprisingly good sound quality for 1960s reissues of the late '80s. That must be testament to the sheer power of the master tapes, which overcame most of the limitations of late-'80s digital audio and the usual timidity of the engineers of that era. The music fairly burned, its sheer ...

Born to Be Wild: A Retrospective (1991) more music like this

by Steppenwolf

Born To Be Wild: A Retrospective was the first attempt at a serious historical overview of Steppenwolf and founder/leader John Kay's career, and considering that the makers limited themselves to two CDs, they did an amazingly good job. A lot of listeners -- even those who were around during the band's heyday -- who think of Steppenwolf as nothing ...

Hip-hop/jazzers Us3 have forged the most elaborate union between the two styles since the early days of Gang Starr and A Tribe Called Quest. Blue Note's vast catalog gives them a huge advantage over several similar groups in terms of source material, and classic sounds by Art Blakey, Horace Silver and Herbie Hancock provide zest and fiber to their ...

The diverse lineup on this Don Covay tribute is testament to the power and influence of the soulman's songwriting. From R&B legends Jimmy Witherspoon and Ben E. King to punk icon Iggy Pop, soul/bluesman Robert Cray and the Stones' Ron Wood, it's an eclectic bunch of acts with Covay's stellar songwriting as the glue holding them together. The hits ...
